door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door.  
If you have plus-size tires that require a higher inflation pressure, your 
tire pressure monitoring system will require re-calibration to the new 
proper inflation pressure. Refer to your tire dealer/installer of plus-size 
tires for proper inflation pressure. You should check inflation in all your 
tires, including the spare, once each month and before every long trip. \
Regardless whether your spare is a full-size spare or a mini-spare, 
make sure that it is properly inflated. If the TPMS generates improper 
monitoring or signals, you should consult your vehicle owner’s manual 
and follow up with your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Tire Spinning
Do not spin wheels at more than 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated 
on your vehicle’s speedometer. Excessive speed in a free-running, 
unloaded tire can cause it to “explode” from centrifugal force. The 
energy released by such an explosion may cause serious physical 
injury or death. Never allow anyone to stand near or behind a spinning 
tire. When in mud, sand, snow, ice, or another slippery condition, 
do not engage in excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the motor 
excessively, particularly with automatic transmission vehicles, may 
cause a drive tire that has lost traction to spin beyond its speed-
enduring capability. This is also true when balancing a drive  
tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using the vehicle engine to spin  
the tire/wheel assembly.
High Speed Driving Is Dangerous
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at high 
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard is more 
difficult to avoid, and if tire contact is made with it, there is a greater 
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover, 
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid 
accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.

Storage
Should you need to store tires they should be stored indoors in a 
cool, dry place. Tire storage areas should be cool (45° F ~ 75° F), 
dry, non-dusty, and moderately well ventilated. To protect your tires 
from damage related to heat, water, ozone and direct sunlight, it is 
suggested you place them in opaque, waterproof containers (e.g., 
plastic trash bags). It is vital that the tires do not come in contact \
with 
sources of heat and/or ozone i.e. radiators, electric generators/motors,\
 
hot pipes, etc., and tires should never be allowed to stand or come into\
 
contact with water, grease, fuels, brake fluid or any other chemicals.
If you need to transport your tires, please follow the above guidelines.\
WARNING: Driving on an improperly stored tire is dangerous, 
as the tire can suddenly fail, which can lead to an accident and 
serious personal injury or death.
Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under no circumstances are tubes to be used in Pirelli tires marked 
“Tubeless”. This includes tires that have been repaired. If the tire’s 
pressure retention ability has been affected, so as to necessitate a 
tube being installed, the tire must be replaced instead.
Tire Valves
Whenever new tires are installed on your wheels, new tire valves of the \
correct type must be installed. During your routine tire inspection, ver\
ify 
that all your valves have proper valve caps. Replace as necessary, 
since the valve cap is also a seal against pressure loss.
Tire Dismounting and Mounting
Tire fitting should be left to professionals who have the equipment 
and training to perform the task properly and safely using U.S. Tire 
Manufacturers Association procedures or the vehicle manufacturer’s 
recommendations. To maximize the performance of your tires, they 
must be installed following the tire sidewall markings with respect to
